Alley Oop Lyrics by The Lovin’ Spoonful

Do You Believe in Magic

0

[Verse 1]
There's a man in the funny papers we all know
(Alley Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
He lived way back a long time ago
(Alley Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
He got a chauffeur that's a genuine dinosaur
(Alley Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
He can knuckle your head before you count to four
(Alley Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
[Verse 2]
Yes, he rides through the jungle tearin' limbs off trees
(Alley Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
Knockin' great big monsters dead on their knees
(Alley Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
Yeah, the cats don't bug him, they know better
(Alley Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
'Cause he's a mean motor-scooter and a bad go-getter
(Alley Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
[Chorus]
He is the toughest man there is alive (Oh yeah)
Wearin' clothes from a wildcat's hide
He's the hully-gully king of jive
Look at that caveman go! (Oh yeah)
[Instrumental Break]
(Oh, oh-oh, ohhh)
[Chorus]
He is the toughest man there is alive (Oh yeah)
Wearin' clothes from a wildcat's hide
He's the hully-gully king of jive
Look at that caveman go!
[Outro]
(Alley Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
(Alley Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
(Alley Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop) There he goes!
(Alley Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop) Sure look hip, don't he?
(Alley Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop) Ride, Daddy!
(Alley Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop) Hi-ho, dinosaur!
